SOCIAL WORK IN THE CHURCH.

AS soon as one indicates his desire to
feel at home in church, the people of
that church should extend to him the
ordinary courtesy through calling at his
home. Every church should have its
committee upon strangers, but church
should demand that this committee
have all the pleasure of first knowing
these strangers. The members of this
committee should indeed call at the
home of strangers, but they should also
make these strangers known to those of
the church who live in the same neigh
borhood into which they have moved.
In large church it is quite impossible
for any one person to know more than
small proportion of all the members.
Acquaintance, therefore, in the same
neighborhoOd, should be specially fos-
tered. The chairman of the commit
tee on strangers, therefore, at once, on
knowing that family in a neighbOr-
hood desires to become associated with
the church, should communicate the
fact to the older members residing in
the same neighborhood, and ask them
to call and to know the new residents.
This method tends to do away with a
mere formality of church acquaintance.
1t tends to found this acquaintance
upon genuinely social as we'll as eccle-
siastical considerations. 1t makes ac-
quaintance easy because natural. 1t is
economical in labor and time. 1t is
simple; it adopts the principle of the
division of labor, and wherever it has
been wisely applied it has proved of
much worth.
The traditional social should not
be sighted in the organized endeavor
of the church. But the social" should
always be sociable. If it is cold in its
atmosphere and filled with unnecessary
formaiities, it is duh, gloomy, dis
tressing occasion. The house should
not be so filed with music and read,
ings and addresses as to leave no time
for conversation, ard yet the hour
should not be so devoid of such pleas
ures as to seem vacant and bare. The
socials should also recognize the fact
that it is much easier to be sociable over
a cup of coffee !-ReU. c. r. Ihpinq, in
AdraHce.

for our faith in the little town of Bur
lington. There were fully six hundred
people present, and the love of God
was so grandly and gloriOusly preached
that the whole audience seemed to
catch the spirit, and kindness and good
will reigned throughout-and poor Br.
Howe There was no feeling for him
but that of pity. We hope he will
profit by the kind teaching he received
and will "grow in grace and in the
knowledge of our Lord and Saviour,
Jesus Christi
We owe Br. Quackenbush many
thanks for procuring the services of
Br. Hughes in this debate, and we know
great good has been done in the name
of the Lord. Those of us who are
rooted and grounded in the faith had
our spiritual strength greatly renewed;
those who were wavering, were con-
frmed, and those who never heard our
faith are beginning to think.
May we all try each and every day to
live up to the high behest of our faith,
is the prayer of your sister in Christ.

THE BURLINGTON, (KY), DEBATE

To the Editor Of The UniUerSaliSt:
waited with much impatience last
week for the arrival of our beloved
UNIVERsALIST, thinking some more
able pen than mine had informed its
readers of the grand, good time we had
at the Burlington, Ky, debate.
The weather was all that could have
been desired, both for speakers and hear
eTs, cool, clear and pleasant. Br. Hughes
appeared in most excellent condition,
physically mentally and spiritually and
if ever the gospel Of purifying and re-
deeming love was preached with power
and effect, he did it for four days.
1t was grand in every respect. No
Misrepresentation nor insult could
tempt Br. Hughes to descend from his
lofty course. His dignltied, straight
forward, Christian demeanor, contrast
ed grandly with the illiterate slang of
his opponent; and he really did "handle
him as tenderly as a kind hearted giant
would dandle an infant" Every text
of Scripture which Br. Howe produced
was explained by him to the satisfac-
tion of every intelligent mind. In fact,
throughout the debate, Br. Hughes's
course reminded us of a sehoolmaster
teaching some small boy the rudiments
of Christian knowledge.
Although one day could scarcely be
called better than another, yet on Fri
day, the climax was reached; and that
day will be remembered as a grand day

ranks OF the old parties, the very stones ct

ted day by day through the infamous wage
system. Children are slain, women worked
TO death, men killed inch by inch, and these
crimes are never punished by law. The AZ
fairs " this land are administered BY the
capitalist class for their own benefit. They

President of the Carolina, Cumber-

that the plans Of his company have
been somewhat disturbed by the inter

London in short time to confer with

there. The lines Of road will start
from Aiken, S. c., and Augusta, Ga,
converging short distance North

road will run directly to Lexington,

formed with Cincinnati, Chicago, st.

The length Of the road will be about
400 miles, and some Cf the grading

and iror fields in North Carolina

Schofold thinks that the passage of

practically shut out The West from
connection with tie Atlantic soahoard;
but he says the road will be built.
It's direct connection will be with
the ocean at Charleston, Port Royal

Am Appeal to Parents.

There Is no work in our County
that needs mAgnjfying more than
that Of teacher; and thcrcis no hettcr
way OF doing thi&; than by contribu
lonS for publication, by uur tcnchcrs
on the different phases of education as
arc conAoctod directly or Indirectly
with that work which is daily poiu~
on III our schools houses. What thr
people of our county need Just now is
an increased appreciation of the
teachers work. The great majority
of the patrons of the schools scarcely
ever give Il single Thought to the sub.
lect matter OF to the qu0 ,uo,l0 of
their chlldrens education. They send
them to school, as n matter of course.
for SO many weeks or months in thn
year. But bcrond tie mere scnd;n~,
they know nothing, unless tiuht
takes place i'll which their own chill
drcn are involved, or some of them
receive a lN9cllution from the teach
cr, then they are ready to censme
and condemn the teacher for some.
thing of which they are totally igno-
rant. Tncy know nothing of thcmcn-
tai training, and the pains taking of
the teacher, In order to promote
mind development and growth on the
part of their children. If one of these
fathers sent his son into the field 20
work, he would be apt to know bow
the boy put in his time and the kind
of work he did; but that same father
shows an uttor Indifference to the
most important thing connected with
that boys life, and that is what he is
doing, while at school, what he is
learning, and how he ia being taught.
How can tho parent appreciate the
worth of the chiid's education, and
live in ignorance Of the work of the
school house! If our fathers and
mothers knew what the teachcr was
daily doing for their children, and
how he was doing it, they would place
n much higher estimate on the worth
of school work, and their sympathy
for the teacher would be greatly in
creased. Could parents witness what
the writer did a few days ago, they
would certainly feel more interested
in one Of the greatest of all acts, that
of teaching, and they could not help
being drawn to the teacher. To see
the teacher trying to lodge in the
min s. of little children ideas that
wo, l quicken thought, and increase
their intelligence of those things
which are the fundamental of true
learning and greatness, is to witness
q work that cannot fail TO elicit the
most hearty appreciation.
Let our teachers send weekly to
the SENTINEL contributions as how
they respectfully conduct the work of
teaching, and by this meas our peo-
pie viii learn to appreciate and mag
nify Tie teachers work. TEACHER.
